A brief description about this Activity.
There are destinations we choose in life and there are journeys we find ourselves on unwillingly. Our clients tend to present with the latter, as they seek to navigate their way through situations never wished for. Whatever the individual’s circumstances, an unwanted journey begins with a loss of some kind, yet a loss that harbours the potential for growth and gain for those who stay the course. This workshop will look at therapeutic support for those on unwanted journeys, using the approaches of stage and page. A model of stages of the unwanted journey will be presented, formulated from observation alongside reflection on various paradigms from Kubler-Ross’ grief model to Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey. Such stages include Reaction and Resistance through to Resilience and Reconstitution. We will explore the presenting characteristics and dynamics of each stage, and how we might support clients engaging with these to find their way through, whatever the particulars of their individual circumstances. We will reflect on the value of the model presented and of the lens of such models in general as a tool in therapeutic work. Those on unanticipated and unwanted journeys can find themselves turning to the page, by starting a journal to ground themselves and track their way through. We will explore practical ways of supporting clients in the journaling that can be an adjunct to work in the counselling room and beyond. Different writing approaches may be appropriate for different stages of the journey. These will be highlighted and experienced during this two-part workshop.
